Milo Yiannopoulos, a British political commentator and former senior editor for Breitbart News, will be holding a speaking event April 14 at 7:00 p.m at a yet-to-be-announced location in Grand Junction.
It is unknown if Colorado Mesa University will be made the venue for Yiannopoulos’ event at a later date, but CMU spokesperson Dana Nunn said that he has not booked the campus for anything as of yesterday.
Yiannopoulos, a consistent critic of feminism, Islam, social justice and political correctness, has had speaking events canceled at multiple college campuses due to his far-right stances.
This past month, a Milo event, “10 Things I Hate About Mexico,” that was to be held at UCLA was scrapped after the student Republican group voted against hosting his appearance.
The event, A Night With MILO, was first made public through Facebook on Feb. 23.
While the tickets went on sale today, March 1, for $40, $55 and $109, the venue will be announced on the day of the event, according to Yiannopoulos’ event website.

I’m there! Milo is one of the few celebrities I can actually admire. He have been lied about and attacked endlessly, but he never gives up the fight for free speech!

He has repeatedly repudiated the term “alt-right”, and you should change the headline accordingly.
He is mostly just a conservative-libertarian. Most of his actual views (as opposed to his satirical material that is intended to be provocative and funny) are fairly mainstream, and sometimes even left-wing.
